SSH fallback to local account if Radius server isn't available
Enable common-auth (includes pam_unix.so
), and change "required" to "sufficient".
auth sufficient pam_radius_auth.so
@include common-auth
(2016/05/03 JST) settings for "fallback"
auth [success=done default=bad authinfo_unavail=bad ignore=ignore] pam_radius_auth.so localifdown
@include common-auth
Results of pam_radius_auth in the following respective cases:
| correct password (in Radius) | wrong (or UNIX) password
-----------------------+--------------------------------------+-------------------------
Radius Server is alive | PAM_SUCCESS | PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL
-----------------------+--------------------------------------+-------------------------
Radius Server is dead | PAM_IGNORE (with localifdown option)
-----------------------+--------------------------------------+-------------------------
As a result:
PAM_SUCCESS => done (Login success)
PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL => bad (Login failure)
PAM_IGNORE => ignore (continue to "common-auth")
There is a note. If the time-out value in pam_radius_auth.conf is too small, it will determine "Radius Server is dead", before receiving the "Access Reject" from the Radius Server.
